Recently I was informed of a new shot sweeping the nation - the LeBomb James. I'm a huge LeBron fan, so I was instantly intrigued when I heard about it. It requires 3 ingredients - Redbull, Crown Royal and sugar (or splenda or whatever). The crown is because Lebron is the King. What would the King drink but Crown? To execute the shot, you fill a hand with sugar, then drop a shot of crown into redbull just like you would with a jager bomb. After you take down the shot you throw the sugar up in the air in the same fashion LeBron does with his powder.

We tried out the shot at a bar recently. After ordering the shot, I asked for some splenda. The bartender didn't have splenda, but she had sugar. "Sure," I said, "No problem. We'll take sugar." She then proceeded to give me 3 packets. There were 4 of us, so 3 wasn't going to do. I informed her that I would need a lot more. She came back with 9 more packets. As soon as she handed them to me, she realized that she had probably just made a mistake. She asked what I needed them for. I responded, "LeBomb James." After that, I walked away. I didn't need to give her more info. She kept an eye on us and sent a bouncer our way when she saw us filling our hands with sugar. He told us that if we threw that in the air, we would get kicked out. We said ok and did it anyway. I don't think anyone around us appreciated it, but it was a lot of fun. We were promptly kicked out of the bar. On the way out, he gave us a lecture on growing up. He told us that's not how you act at a grown up bar. This, of course, was coming from a 35 year old bouncer working at a Depaul college bar. So to summarize, if you don't mind getting kicked out of the bar, it's a great shot.

I made a pretty huge mistake a few weeks ago. I thought it was brilliant at the time, but I have since learned otherwise. I literally didn't play at all in April. I was traveling a ton and when I wasn't traveling I had a lot of work to do. I had always operated under the assumption that spending FTP points counted against rakeback, but that it didn't carry over to the next month. In April I had $0 coming back to me and I had 500k points I wanted to spend. I managed to spend it all. It was mostly spent on stupid stuff that I definitely didn't need. I bought glasses of several different sizes, fold up chairs, a humidor, golf balls, a football, a new 30" monitor and other random stuff I'm not remembering.

I got my rakeback report in early May. I had earned $17 in rakeback, but I spent $2500 in points. haha, wow. Late last week I had a conversation with a guy high up in the affiliate business. He informed me that the -2500 would absolutely carry over to May. It would have been smart to ask him this before I spent the points. Time to hit the tables and grind away that debt!
